attributed toindustry and business climate forces, SE educators want to be sure that the foundation whichthey provide to students is sound, realistic and aligned with desired learning outcomes.In this paper, we explore how experience-based software project data can serve as predictors andplay an important role in the management of SE projects. Predominantly, today’s SE curricula donot adequately focus on these aspects. The goal is to present the case for change and to suggestpractical and flexible methods of improvement. To achieve the goal, this paper examines why SEefforts experience high failure rates, how current curricula are structured, the intended learningoutcomes of SE courses, and where there is a gap in the achievement of those outcomes

Datacollection covers a two year period from January 2014 through December 2015.In addition, we address the implications of the sudden uptick in IPv6 adoption, as it continues ona path of accelerated expansion. The long awaited transition from IPv4 to IPv6 has implicationsfor all organizations who will soon be making the change; many of which may not be preparedfor how to systematically approach such an undertaking. Factors such as project planning, IPv6saturation, infrastructure assessment, policy redesign, and network continuity are discussed askey areas that will need to be addressed as organizations begin to adopt IPv6.Key words: IPv6

It is hypothesized that thislack of clarity of the field at an early point in students’ academic career, coupled with theperception that the curriculum is largely irrelevant to their lives, has impacted the retention ratesof computer science majors in the first two years of their academic study programs. This paperwill report on a preliminary stage of a comprehensive project effort that aims to improveretention rates for computer science students in their entry-level courses through thedevelopment of course modules intended for inclusion in their entry-level curriculum. Thetheoretical basis for these modules will be reviewed and the design framework for thedevelopment of these models is discussed

Since studentsknow what is relevant to them, we selected a group of five students majoring in ComputerSystems to help us develop those narratives.The use of student-developed narratives affected performance in different flowcharting structures(sequence, selection, repetition) differently. Overall, the data suggests that the use of case studieswas beneficial for increasing performance in flowcharting assessments using

As previously discussed, both programs target distinctaspects of an overall project, and can be used to complement each other.
